Wayne Rooney has £5million book deal ‘binned by publishers’ after first two fail to fly off the shelves

WAYNE ROONEY has been given more bad news with his rocky patch showing no signs of slowing down.

It comes with Rooney in the midst of a marriage crisis with wife Coleen over his night with Laura Simpson and the two-year driving ban he was given last week.

To rub salt into the wound, he suffered a heavy cut on his eye after being elbowed in the win over Bournemouth at the weekend, and was seen sporting a black eye when given a lift to training on Monday.

Now, according to the Daily Mail, publisher HarperCollins will scrap plans to release two more of Rooney's autobiographies.

In 2006, Rooney signed a deal with the publisher to release five autobiographies.

But after poor sales troubled the first two, My Story So Far (2006) and My Decade in the Premier League (2012), HarperCollins has changed plans.

The report claims that the publisher will now settle for one explosive tell-all book when Rooney, 31, finally hangs up his boots.
